NEW: Vaughn College Career Services says they’re addressing air traffic controller crisis — with help from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Tom Suozzi — who helped get Vaughn into the enhanced training initiative. #NBC4NY

“at last minute” is actually insane. rep. ocasio-cortez was an original co-sponsor on the ceasefire resolution, declared a genocide on the floor of the house in march 2024, led record opposition to an israel supplemental, and called for a full arms embargo last fall.

She was one of only ~10 members of congress to support the Gaza student protest encampments. She’s literally on camera talking with Mahmoud Khalil at Columbia. Then she was the only member of congress to show up at the airport to support his return.

She was one of the only members of congress to campaign against AIPAC/DMFI in multiple high profile primaries, she showed up in Ohio for Turner, did a rally for Bowman, and helped Bernie when he needed it most.

One of the most important and powerful things any kid can do to make a better world, if they see someone being pushed around, stand up for them.

“We need more officials… to make it crystal clear that fighting for a level playing field is a core value... even when it means standing up to big business..." Must-read from Lina Khan on why fighting for small businesses must be a core tenant of any durable economic agenda.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on vote to stop arm transfers to Israel: "It is unthinkable" she says, that as "a third of Gaza has not eaten in days" Senate would greenlight weapons already used to kill 60,000 Palestinians. Every Senator has choice: uphold law, or cower to Netanyahu & arm genocide.

Adam Jentleson Hey Adam- 100% of our contributions are from working people who chip in to support AOC. $0 corporate pac dollars. We’ve done dozens events across the country including swing districts this year. AOC is also 1 of only 7 members to pay her DCCC dues in full. Maybe you could ask

i know it’s fashionable in the centrist movement to have the memory of a goldfish, but this is something she’s consistently done in her career. how it has been received by the moderates is actually the problem. she’s also 1 of only 7 dems to pay full dues to dccc.

Four years ago AOC gave $5000 each to some vulnerable House colleagues and a few panicked and gave it back. (One of them was Elissa Slotkin.) politico.com/news/2021/04/0…

some great New York Post reporting on aoc’s district work oddly in a story about how she’s not doing anything for her district.

chris cuomo blasting an obviously fake ai video to his nearly 2 million followers. genuinely baffling how we fight this kind of thing.

NYers knew Andrew Cuomo was backed by Trump’s orbit. That’s why he lost the primary. Now we have confirmation. It’s time for Dem leaders to unite behind Zohran Kwame Mamdani. If they don’t now, how can they call for party unity later? We must lead by example. Let’s win together.

so the new move from cuomo is to let Melissa DeRosa run the twitter account? it’s interesting because as a poster she’s not very good but her comms instincts are also not good, like that time she tried to say she didn’t help on the primary campaign. bizarre stuff!

she’s just genuinely really bad at this. it hurts to watch. rich can at least trip on himself and land a punch once in a blue moon. this is just bad posting. rough.

Con Ed is trying to raise electricity and gas bills by 18% for working New Yorkers - all while reporting major profits. I sent a letter today with my colleagues urging the Public Service Commission to stand up for our constituents and deny Con Ed’s rate hike.

but are we allowed to say 'oligarchy' or 'medicare for all' or 'tax the rich' or 'class war'?
